The operator seemed clueless from the very beginning of the video... Looked like he had just woke up. He almost looked Confused.

That camera guy is a complete penis.

Doesn't an Apache have the power to just pull the dock with him? :whistle: :party-smiley-004:

My guess he was going to the trailer after a hard night......he appeared to be a bit confused from the get go.......I know I have had some rough mornings after a good poker run party.....not quite that bad though

That's what I expected to happen. Something like one of those large floating docks broken off of Grand Lake during a storm, trailing 9 SeaRays and 3 MTIs behind him.

The water was far to smooth for that. Had there been 4-5 footers out there, he would have pulled the dock out without even realizing it.

I was hoping for total cover destruction. Hung on the pole, in the outdrives etc.......

I was shocked the guy even got the boat started.... I heard Apaches wouldn't even run until waves were over 4 feet.

I do stupid things all the time. We all do. I'm just smart enough not to record it and then post it to the internet !

If it's not caught on film/vid and i don't remember it, it never happened ! LOL.

Back in the day Merc had a dock test for their engines and drives. Tie up the boat tight and drop the hammer.
